    great post , showing the bad and good sides of scientific advances ....I however believe that is not necessarily scientists fault when their research is used for something it was not intended for ...it is merely the powers that be who take what they want and discard the rest . ....When you look at the more Social Sciences that is even more clear ....compare the ways each country will view certain Social studies and use them to implement change in their societies .

    thank you for the time to think and ponder here
Scientists always need money to do their research. And when bad people fund research or when bad people decide what to do with scientific findings, bad things happen!

    Hello Spunky
    Great post explaining my point of view would be too long. But now I understand why you ask so many questions.
    ♥ Kiss ♥ Annie ♥

Asking questions is always easy; answering them is far more difficult!

    Loved this post. It's so difficult to know what to say to the creationists and nay-sayers....and the Trump supporters. I feel defeated before I even begin. Love your thoughts, and your blog! Be back soon.
It's difficult to argue against creationsists using the scientific method, but I hope you and and other Americans will do something about Trump!

    Great post, I like it. I suspected you might have some sort of social studies background given some of the questions and posts in the past. You certainly picked an interesting field of study with plenty of material to observe.
Fortunately or unfortunately I'm a politics junkie, which is why I love your blog posts!

    Your post is thoroughly enjoyable. It could have been longer!

    I've been frustrated with "creation science" too. There was a self help book back in the late sixties- "I'm OK, You're OK." There seems to be a tendency for people to believe that it applies to opinion, too, that all ideas have equal validity. But science isn't opinion, as you point out. It's maddening to try to reason with a person who clings to fact free theories.
People's opinions are strange. We all have them but they do change over time because of evidence and experience. But people who believe their opinions are facts are deluded. The self-help/motivational phrase, 'say what you mean. mean what you say', just elevates opinion to dangerous levels!

    Excellent read! I enjoyed reading this post, and it isn't too long.

    It is sad that so many people believe in creation when all the facts point to evolution. How do they explain ancient civilizations when their 'creator' was born mere 2000 year ago!
Very true; I think we need to study ancient civilisations far more. We can learn from the past!

    Hmm...a very philosophical look at science. I do love how science brings order to the world and then blows it to pieces...no, not the world (hopefully), the order it established for a second. At least in science there is a method to getting the facts, so that others can distort them how they see fit. Great post, and not too long at all. Oh, I just remembered struggling with organic chemistry a long time ago in the library. A student sat down at my table to do his homework. He was a Poly Sci major, and he had a newspaper and was circling articles (I kind of laughed to myself at his "homework"). We started talking and he was telling me what would happen if Nixon was elected to a second term. Dang, he was right!
That's science, explain something and then debunk the explanation.
Nixon now seems like a pussycat compared to what Trump may be!

    A really good post Spunky and definitely not too long. I have always been fascinated by Science....I loved it in school and always wanted to know HOW things worked. Now I find I am more interested in people....what makes them behave in certain ways.....why they do the things that they do.
People are endlessly fascinating!

    Great post. Science or religion in the hands of a politician is equally bad. It is the certainty at which these assholes do things that scares me. They are so sure that releasing herpes at massive scale will kill carp and only carp with no other impact.

    The Australian politician,Barnaby Joyce, the deputy prime minister, said the only way to get rid of the "bottom-dwelling, mudsucking" fish was to unleash herpes on it.

    The A$15m ($11m; £8m) eradication program, dubbed "Carpageddon" by the government, aims to rid the Murray-Darling Basin of carp. Science Minister Christopher Pyne said the virus would have no impact on humans, but the clean-up would be costly. "Suddenly, there will be literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of tonnes of carp that will be dead in the River Murray," Mr Pyne said.
Politicians and scientists often make for a toxic mix!

    I like to call myself a "scientist" too.

    I stopped arguing with creationists. (Well at least about that.) .. If that's what they want to believe, fine. .. I've got better things to do.
Creationists are impossible to argue with using evidence!

    I was once on a cave tour. A woman and her two children were near me. Every time the tour guide would give a fact about how the cave was made, time it took, et al, the woman would loudly exclaim, "Isn't it wonderful what God did in just 7 days." UHG! Religion is for idiots. Give me science!
Science will always beat religion when it comes to evidence but unfortunately people still hold their evidence-freee opinions!
